For me, its not the console price thats the problem. £395.99 in the UK but if we consider inflation, the switch 1 would be around £360-365 today. An extra £30ish for a bigger screen and more power is not too unreasonable. Plus ending in 95.99 rather than 99.99 suggests Nintendo have tried to trim the headline price down.

The real problem is the accessories and games. £75 for new pro controller, £50 for new microSD Express (only ones compatible) £50 for webcam and £67-75 for physical games, £59-£67 for digital.

Ouch.

Fun fact, in The Flash movie (guessing nobodys seen it considering it was a flop of the year) Barry opens his mostly empty fridge.. and there's a tin of these in there. Most people probably think it was a prop product but I literally ate them last week..

I have a weird thing about ratios with meat/bread and these are the only hotdogs that don't overwhelm me.

We had these last week with a pack of 6 buns, can normally fit 2 extras on to one of the other buns.

Sounds like something silicon valley would do.

Not sure how they were able to remove so many buttons in the first place and not be marked down on safety. Suddenly trying to find a demister on a touchscreen menu while in motion was never a great idea. Surprisingly, Volvo off all companies have been one of the worst for this. That's why I like Dacias, little tech = little to go wrong.

Yep - cheapest Atto 3 model in the UK is £37,695 on the road price, which is around $77,587 AUD. Even with dealer cuts (30%?) seems super expensive compared to rest of the world. Something is not adding up.

I'm a fan of BYDs though, I just wish they were cheaper in the UK. Britain is not subject to the EU import tarrifs but the Atto 3 for example is around almost twice the price of the same Australian model.

I understand we're further away from China than Australia is but then they do have their own ships now. Anyone know why?

Thanks once again - these series of posts are the best thing on Lemmy at the moment. Wish the Internet had stayed like this rather than what it has become. Your content and the fediverse gives me hope...

Really hope Aldi and Lidl in the UK do this 🤞 (Tesco is no1 supermarket but sadly can't see them following)

Yes exactly, its the convenience of being able to play on the sofa when I get a spare hour at the weekends or evenings that's really appealing. Thanks, will check Decky Loader out 👍

I wanna get back into gaming this year and have been looking into getting a stream deck, so timing of this post couldn't have been better. Not sure where you managed to find all this info but big thanks - looking forward to the next post...

Late stage capitalism is now turning inward. What a time to be alive.
